You completely ignored the "can be expected to end in death" and pretended that there was a loophole that they're using for sneaky and nefarious purposes to deny people benefits.

If you actually wanted to poke holes in their DIB entitlement program why not start with the 5 month waiting period between the date of onset and month of entitlement?

I apologize if I came off as antagonistic at first, but it honestly seemed like you're cherry picking things to fit a worldview that I'm sure you've developed after years of dealing with a huge bureaucracy from the outside.

"The law defines disability as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment(s) which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months."

In fact, I've had several cases where people with fatal cancer who were given 6 months to live get denied for their benefits because the Social Security Administration decides that the person is more likely to die before they've been off work for a full 12 months, and therefore they don't want to pay even the few months worth of benefits that person might need, no matter if they've paid into the system their whole lives or not.

I can't decide if you're deluded or lying. Probably the former.

Edit: funny how an anticapitalist sub is willing to eat up bullshit about the greatest social program in US history.

Additionally, if we go with the popular vote, then only the high population states will ever get any representation as the states with a smaller population would lose their voice entirely. No one would bother ever doing anything for those states as they would represtent too few votes to matter. NYC, LA, SF, Chicago etc would be the only places with a voice. Is that a good idea?

Currently FL, OH and the other swing states are the only places with a determining voice. And the people who vote for the candidate who doesn't win their state have no voice whatsoever.

I'm a little scared. There seems to be a witch hunt going on for anyone moderate/"establishment"/didn't support Bernie. Its going to alienate parts of the party more than the DNC already has if people don't focus a little bit.

Hard to alienate the people who would vote for an avocado if it had a (D) after it. These are the people who cried that every third party vote was a vote for Trump.
